Abstract

Switching effects in strongly doped compensated germanium have been studied. The experimental results show that it is due to a collisional ionization process. The method of kinetic equations is used to explore the most important features of the switching effect in terms of collisional ionization. Expressions are found for the basic parameters of the effect, and it is shown that they agree well with the experimental data both for strongly doped compensated semiconductors and for weakly doped semiconductors.
